A new leg of the journey with M.E./CFS

For 8.5 years, though my illness developed and progressed, one positive thing was that it seemed as if I rarely caught colds, flus or other virus’. Sometimes, everyone in the family would catch a bad cold and I would come down with a bit of it, but it was gone within a day or two. [...]
